Reports Indicate Terminally Ill Fan Granted Early GTA VI Access After Public Plea

A public request from Ubisoft developer Anthony Armstrong prompted direct contact from Take-Two’s chief executive, according to posts.

Overview

  • Armstrong asked Rockstar to let a terminally ill family member see or play GTA VI before release, and his post rapidly went viral before being deleted.
  • In follow-up messages cited by Insider Gaming, Armstrong said the family received “great” or “excellent” news after speaking with company representatives.
  • Outlets report that Take-Two’s CEO contacted the family, which many have interpreted as the request being granted.
  • Rockstar has issued no public confirmation and no details have been disclosed about any session, version shown, timing, or conditions.
  • The episode stands out given Rockstar’s tight pre-release secrecy and echoes a reported 2018 case involving early access to Red Dead Redemption 2 for a terminally ill player.
